Celtic fans have responded with derision after Nikola Katic made a bold claim about the Premiership title.
The Croatian defender says his Rangers side would have won the 2019/20 title had they played Celtic every week.
Predictably, that claim hasn't washed with fans of the champions, and they've spent the afternoon mocking Katic's comments.
As quoted by Record Sport, Katic said in a Croatian interview: "In the league, Celtic have been champions for years, but we matched them very well last season before we fell away after the break.
"At every step, you can feel the rivalry and I feel we are at least on their level. Those games against Celtic are a special experience, I had the good fortune to experience a victory and I will remember that for the rest of my life.
"If we had played every game last season against Celtic, we would be champions. Against them, we were always playing at a high standard.
"In the Cup Final, we were impossibly good against Celtic, but just couldn't score."
Here are just a few of the responses from Celtic supporters.

"Good job he's not using that method against relegated club Hearts" - @BillingsgateBob
"Time to start screenshotting all this pre season pish so you can roll it out after another successful season. Same nonsense every time, they never learn" - @AaronJack67
"Gets funnier every year" - @AlstonGreg
